IT Manager at Hala Equipment Trading LLC

Well-suited for mobile and portable device usage but issues with stability

The problem is that when the number of users increases, TP-Link automatically drops the speed, and in terms of coverage, it falls short. We are not using any industrial-level equipment or accuracy. We are looking for something at the industrial level, advanced Access Points, not the basic ones from TP-Link. Omada Access Points could be improved in terms of connectivity and speed. That is the main thing. The other thing is security. Currently, most people are sharing their passwords, allowing unauthorized users to access Wi-Fi networks. So, the main areas for improvement are security, accessibility, and speed.

Extremely easy management of access points; user friendly dashboard

I like the ease of use this product offers; you can manage it from home and don't need to take the console access or go on the specific IP. It is very easy to manage the access points. The product has a user friendly dashboard with all the options and features.

"The pricing is reasonable."

"The performance and availability of Omada Access Points have met our business needs, particularly in improving network control and facilitating direct access for developers to branch services."

"We don't have any issues 90 percent of the time. It works fine in most situations. It has been a success story for delivering WiFi services in Romania. Our customers are happy, and I've been satisfied with Omada's performance as an engineer."

"Omada is a good solution that I would recommend, and it is less expensive while providing good results."

More Omada Access Points pros

"Very easy to use and can be managed remotely."

Cons

"Upgrading the hardware capabilities to newer versions like Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 would be a helpful improvement."

"It's better for smaller organizations. This would not work for enterprises. It is not very scalable."

"We have some issues with stability. It is not so fast. That is the main problem."

"There should be more remote support for the mobile application."

"There is room for wider improvements and additional features to enhance managing capabilities."

"Omada could add some API integrations that would help with our automated solution. We're trying to integrate, and we're having some issues because some of the calls are not there. The API still needs some development."

"TP-Link Auranet EAP is not very efficient, they need to improve it."

"Aruba has better scaling capabilities."

More Omada Access Points cons

"Initial integration with the cloud was problematic."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is about 500 Brazilian real per access point, with no additional recurring costs."

"On a scale of one to ten for pricing, with one being cheap and ten being expensive, I would rate Omada Access Points at a one for its cost-effectiveness."

"TP-Link is a good price. They have a good price. But technology-wise, it has to be better."

"The price is affordable, and we haven't had any additional costs due to having a limited number of users."

"Its benefit is that it is cost effective."

"TP-Link provides solutions that are more cost-effective than other well-known brands."

"There is no need to pay for the licensing costs since my company is in South Africa. Omada Access Points can be termed as a medium-priced product."

"The cost of Omada is much better than Aruba and Cisco, and it does what we need it to do in most cases. Around 10 percent of our clients need a more carrier-grade solution for mobile platforms."
